hostname on hpux

[Shivkumar]

Hostname is stored in which files on hpux 11i ?
I remember on solaris it is stored in 3 files and they were interlinked somehow ( i don't recall now)
My this question is in this perspective.

Thanks,
Shiv

Hi,
In /etc/hosts and /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. That is the HP-UX related files.

There may also be other, application-related configuration files (e.g. Data Protector).

Shiv,

You will find the hostname in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and in /etc/hosts or in your DNs server. But it is stored in the netconf file.

The safiest way to change it is with the command 'set_parms hostname'.

best regards,
Kurt

Hi,

It is stored in above two files as mentioned but you are not required to change it manually. You can rather set it by "set_parms hostname" command.

Also /etc/nsswitch.conf will tell from where your hostname is getting resolved. Wheather locally or from NIS/DNS.

HTH,
Devender

hi shiv,

check /etc/rc.config.d/netconf under HOSTNAME and /etc/hosts.

also "man set_parms" and search for hostname for more info.

regards.

Hi Shiv

Hostname in hp-ux 11i is found in /etc/hosts & /etc/rc.config.d/netconf files

man set_parms and man hostname give some good info on the relationship of the systems hostname.

in /etc/hosts

you can find host entry on second line.

in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf

HOSTNAME="hostname"


Thanks and Regards
